Threadwatch lets you automatically know when a post you've commented on or submitted gets a reply.

Slash-n-burn hides the posts you've already scrolled through so you don't have to see them again.

Linker gives you a dynamically managed list of the links you visit the most. The ones you hit the most float to the top, and as you stop visiting any of the links, they fall off completely.
